TIL.

I’ve worked as a data engineer for the last two years and never heard of this being used in this context before.

Typically the word “data lineage” is used to mean this in my experience.

I don’t think I’ve ever been in a meeting where someone mentioned provenance except referring to a show about paintings.

Lineage isnt the same thing, being a more specific technical term referring to keeping the history of datasets and where they came from (basically), but people actually say the words “data governance” and “lineage”.
